What effect did Plessy v. Ferguson have on Jim Crow laws?

The Plessy vs. Ferguson case strengthened the Jim Crow laws throughout the United States.

Further Explanation:

The Plessy vs. Ferguson case revolved around a man who was considered "1/8th African American" but was forced to move from an all white train car. In this case, Homer Plessy argued that his 14th amendment rights were being violated. The 14th amendment contains the equal protection clause, which is supposed to ensure that all laws apply equally to American citizens.

At this time, Plessy and other African American citizens faced discrimination due to the implementation of Jim Crow laws. Jim Crow laws were made after the Civil War era in order to create separate private and public facilities for white and black citizens.

Ultimately, the Supreme Court ruled that Plessy's rights were not violated. Along with this, the Supreme Court ruled that "separate but equal" facilities for black and white citizens were not a violation of the 14th amendment. This idea of "separate but equal" would hold true until the Brown vs. Board of Education case (1954) overturned the Plessy vs. Ferguson decision.

The correct answer is C.

The Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark case from the US Supreme Court, issued in 1896.

It confirmed that segregated facilities were not violating the US constitution as long as the ones for whites and the ones for black citizens were equal in quality. From this decision, the principle "separate but equal" was derived.

It actually gave legitimacy to the Jim Crow laws that many Southern States were enacting, and which promoted segregation and indirect discriminations.

Explanation:

What is Cultural Transmission?

Cultural transmission is  the ability to pass information on from one individual to another even across generations -- that makes us unique  Learning can be done by observing what happens in the world around us, for example, by associating events that frequently occur together (or in a rapid sequence). However, human "communication" may constitute such a powerful instrument that it overrides "statistics", as observed in a study.

Cultural transmission is the one-directional way that information is given to us.

How did christianity's ethical principles help it spread?
borishaifa [10]
<span>Christianity's ethical principals promoted acceptance of god into ones heart to cleanse yourself of sin, and live an eternal life. For a variety of reasons the savior story format used in the bible indicates that people resonated with hope, forgiveness, kindness, and generosity. This could have been an internal response to the perhaps brutish world depicted, where forgiveness may have seemed somewhat out of reach. The theme of sacrifice is also proposed, which worked for the ruling class, who fancied themselves as superior, god-like, and the working class peasants, who probably needed to think they would die and do something better than farm potatoes.</span>
